Reminder: Trump oversaw the worst economic downturn in nearly a century.

This is not a news conference today Trump is holding.
It is a taxpayer-paid campaign event.
Trump again insisting #COVID19 #vaccines coming "very soon," despite #pharma #biotech expecting to pledge they will not submit applications to #FDA unless data are sufficient.
Trump has NOT seen the data. He has NO access to it.
Nearly 190,000 Americans are dead from #COVID19.
That's dead forever.

This is not a news conference.
Taxpayers are paying for this campaign event where Trump is bashing his political opponent.
@whca, reporters should get up & leave! They are sitting as participants in this taxpayer-paid political event.
Right, all over the world, nobody has done what the U.S. has been able to do: 190,000 dead in the U.S.
Nobody has topped at number yet.

#COVID19 #vaccines
Reporters need to interrupt. This is not a news conference.
They need to get up and walk out.
This is campaign event being paid for by taxpayers.
@whca, it is wrong for reporters to participate.
Trump now bashing the press.
Reporters, get up and leave.
This is not a news conference.
@whca, shut it down.
Trump now bashing @SenJohnMcCain & then praises himself over McCain's funeral.

Soup.
Trump doesn't mention #KyleRittenhouse.
Reminder on Trump & his deals: His refusal to make a deal led to the longest #governmentshutdown in history.
When will reporters interrupt & demand proof from Trump on his false claims?
Reporters should be interrupting when Trump claims there's been no evidence of wrongdoing.
There is evidence. The #MuellerReport was not a vindication. Trump was impeached.
But reporters sit silently by while Trump makes false claims.
Again, Zach Fuentes. propublica.org/article/the-fe…
Trump again claiming there will be a #COVID19 vaccine.
He says he spoke with , .
"Maybe going to have it before a very special date -- you know what date I'm talking about."
Then he claims #FDA knows it's going good.
Trump has NO access to data. None!
.@KamalaHarris said she would not trust Trump's word on #COVID19 #vaccines.
But Harris said would trust scientists on the vaccines.
Trump claims his claims about having #COVID19 #vaccines are not political.
Again, Trump has NO access to data. None.
Again, this is not a news conference.
This is a taxpayer-paid political event and reporters shouldn't have participated today.
But the clickbait headlines that will come from this taxpayer-paid political event today ...
And news organizations wonder why Americans don't trust us any longer.
It was a taxpayer-paid political event.
And news reporters participated in it.
Remember when news reporters like Helen Thomas and Sam Donaldson used to actually interrupt & demand evidence of a president's claims? washingtonpost.com/history/2018/1…
